Ken,the bird is a SFEY,if you got it from the mad Italian i have seen it before and he was calling it a lime but i don't think so.He did have some dilutes at one stage but stuffed them trying to breed other mutations into them.matcho wrote:Sam
That bird is a direct descendant of a cock bird I bought from a drycleaner. Never told what it was but that it could throw blues which he was trying for. Euro yellow, Aust yellow and all the other mutations leave my head spinning. I have no idea if it is a Sf of DF Euro or Australian yellow. I had bird a few years go, very similar to the other pictures which have been posted. Sold it off/gave it away. Gee, the goulds are really starting to give me the sh..s.
So Sam,
Here is the question, that particular cock bird is with a black headed, yellow tipped beak, purple breast, green back hen. Try and put that into the forecaster , the ytb aint there.
Ken
PS. All I hope for is healthy chicks!
I might be wrong but i'm pretty sure you will breed EY hens from that pairing straight away but if he is an AD and she is "normal" all the young will be normal looking but split AD,time will tell. Craig
